This DIY Method Will Block Loud Road Noise In Your Backyard

What happens here

To enhance the aesthetic appeal and provide additional sound absorption, landscaping elements are added. This includes laying down weed fabric on the berm, planting a variety of shrubs (such as Skip Laurel, yellowish plants, and red plants) in front of the new fence, and spreading mulch over the entire area. The presenter notes that combining dense mass (berm, retaining wall, cement board) with soft, leafy plants creates multiple layers of sound dampening, further reducing noise. He credits Ms. Cindy from Jordan's Nursery for guidance on plant selection and placement.

Goal: Improve the visual appeal of the sound barrier and add natural sound-absorbing elements.

Tools and materials

  • Rake — Spreading mulch and leveling the ground
  • Shovel — Digging holes for plants and spreading mulch
  • Evergreen Shrubs — Adding visual appeal and sound absorption
  • Fertilizer — Promoting healthy plant growth
  • Mulch — Ground cover, moisture retention, and sound absorption
  • Root Starter — Aiding in the establishment of new plants
  • Weed Fabric — Suppressing weeds and separating mulch from soil

What they say

Laurel. That's all. That's all. You beat me to it. So I'll let you be the main expert on this project. She sent me home with 10 bags... Oh, Ms. Cindy, by the way, if you're in the Boise area, on the Bench, this woman is a real charmer. 10 bags of fertilizer, we have a root growth stimulant, a lot of work today. Let 's start laying agrofibre from weeds and make everything, well, I don't know, evergreen for these people. Okay, like this. You know, it doesn't look like much, but the more layers and, so to speak , ingredients we have, the better, right? Concrete, soil, double fence, layer of concrete, cement slab, you know, lots of tender plants that become lush over the years. This will all give its result. The little things make up the big things. And in the end, it will all be noticeable. It may seem like I know what I'm doing, but if you remember, I have absolutely no talent for gardening. But Ms. Cindy from Jordan's Nursery , man, she gave me everything I needed and even told me how to arrange them. So these color combinations are entirely hers . It's not me. I can't wait to involve her in every project. She's a true angel and a professional, man. She's a real laboratory scientist there. Congratulations to you, Ms. Cindy. You said you were going to retire or take care of plants? Yes, I'm going to work for Ms. Cindy at Jordan's Kennel. She will make me work. This will be my internship. I mix all these wonderful nutrients for all these plants together with fertilizer. And then, when everything is in place, I'll treat it with a root growth enhancer, or whatever it's called. I think it's testosterone for these plants. If this works, you can be sure, I'll try drinking this stuff myself. It's been 5 days since we started this project, and honestly, I think it looks amazing. We
